An attempt at an evasive mechanic.
I originally wanted to make a flavorful, evasive mechanic for green. A snake seemed like a good choice for an animal. An unblockable 1/1 didn't sound too great, so I came up with an ability. The ability seemed mono-black. I connected the card to Vraska when I went to name it. Green occasionally can destroy planeswalkers as part of its non-creature destruction, so I made the card BG to match Vraska. Still, the card would probably be fine as mono-black. Maybe it being a creature adds a touch of green?
I'm down for this mechanic. I'd probably end up using a counter, for memory purposes, myself. Actually, I think I might just steal the Renown mechanic, give this creature 'Renown 1' and use the line "If this creature is unrenowned..." on a bunch of cards. Makes for a cute evolution of renown...
I don't see why the creature dies from attacking planeswalkers.
The 'it' could be clearer, there, yeah.
I think this is okay even if it gets to destroy only one planeswalker unopposed.
